Objective:
Cancer-field surgery by peritoneal mesometrial resection and targeted compartmental lymphadenectomy (PMMR+TCL) for the treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) aims at optimal locoregional tumor control without the need for adjuvant radiotherapy.In a previous publication we could demonstrate the feasibility of the method and presented encouraging first oncologic data.
Methods:
Following up our 2021 publication, we present data on the treatment of EC by PMMR+TCL in much larger cohort and with longer follow-up.
Results:
One hundred and thirty-five patients with EC International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) I–IV (75.6% FIGO I) underwent cancer field surgery via PMMR+TCL for EC in the years 2016–2023. Mean follow-up in our cohort was 27.5 months (0, 83; 19.7). The procedure was feasible and safe with favorable intra-and postoperative complication rates. Even though 50.4% of patients had an indication for postoperative radiotherapy following national and international guidelines, the rate of postoperative irradiation administered was 10.4%. The overall recurrence rate was 8.1% and we observed 2 (1.5%) isolated locoregional recurrences.
Conclusion
Our results confirm the feasibility and safety of PMMR+TCL in EC patients.Oncologic data are very encouraging and hint at a superior locoregional control without adjuvant irradiation. Larger studies with longer follow-up will be needed to confirm these results.

Background: Suicide continues to be a leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, more than 45,000 children in the age group of 10 to 19 years died by suicide, making it the second leading cause of death in the age group of 15 to 19, surpassed only by traffic accidents, tuberculosis, and fighting. Objective: To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation among adolescents whose parents are separated/divorced; and to explore the factors associated with suicidal ideation and describe adverse experiences among adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 309 adolescents with separated/separated parents in Hue City. Data was collected through direct interviews using a structured questionnaire. Suicidal ideation was defined as the presence of thoughts or plans related to suicide within the last 12 months. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify factors associated with suicidal ideation in adolescents with separated/ separated parents. Results: The study found that 15.5% (95% CI:11.7 - 20.1) of adolescents with separated /separated parents reported experiencing suicidal thoughts, in which men accounted 8.4% (95% CI:5.6 – 11.2) and women accounted 7.1% (95% CI:4.5 - 10.6). Several factors were identified as increasing the risk of suicidal ideation, including alcohol use (OR = 3.24; 95% CI:1.42 - 7.42), hyperactivity/inattention (OR = 4.96; 95% CI:1.58 - 15.605), and a poor quality of family relationships (OR = 4.82; 95% CI:1.26 - 18.50). On the contrary, certain factors were found to reduce the risk, including being in the 14-15 age group of 14-15 (OR = 0.26; 95% CI:0.10 - 0.69) and participating in physical activity (OR = 0.44; 95% CI:0.21 – 0.94). Conclusions: The research highlights a significant percentage of adolescents with separated / divided parents who experience suicidal ideation. Therefore, it is imperative for families, schools, and society to develop comprehensive strategies to monitor and address various risky behaviours among students simultaneously.
